+0.10.6 (??/??/2017):
+------------------

+- Two more improvements to initrd detection for Linux kernels:
+  - Do not choose an initrd that has no matching version characters with
+    the kernel version string.
+  - In order to support Arch Linux kernel naming the strings "linux"
+    and "linux-lts". So "vmlinuz-linux-lts" has version "linux-lts",
+    which matches "initramfs-linux-lts.img".
